Cultural Relics and Scenic Spots

It is unforgettable and impressive for 22 MBBS students from Jiangsu University on summer vocation, not only because the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in August, but also because the IEEC, working together with Clinical Department and Medicine Department,design and implement a topic activity of Visiting Hospitals, Cultural Relics and Scenic Spots.

From July 8 to August 28, 2008, IEEC organized for more than 8 social practices on summer vocation, including visiting three hospitals and the scenery of Water Town in Southern Yangtze River, experiencing new socialist countryside, appreciating Chinese traditional cultures etc.. All the foreign students were greatly amazed by the strength of Jiangsu University, lost in the beautiful and elegant landscape and immersed in the rich and lively culture.

In every hospital visited, surrounding teachers and doctors, they put forward questions one after another: "Do you need foreign doctors?", "Can I do social practices in your hospital? ".

"What if we could stay here overnight","I love here, I love Jiangsu University", though from different countries with different languages, foreign students express the same feeling, "China is great, It is really fortunate to study here", "I will learn Chinese kongfu, Chinese brush characters, Chinese paintings, Chinese ". Eagerness and amazement excited their strong interests, which encouraged their urge to learn and practice. And their questions changed from "I like " to "I want to know and I want to learn."

As we all know, what is most difficult and also the highest realm of foreign students education is culture education, because it's the education of customs and spirits that would and should last for a lifelong time.

Although social practices of foreign students is short with only 8 activities in 8 days, everyone engaged received great gains. It's a great chance to let their souls immersed silently but effectively in Chinese culture.
